Hi, i have just ordered a Bill Lawrence L500XL bridge humbucker and wondered if anyone knows of a neck pickup that might go well with it. I play through a solid mahogony les paul copy through a marshall jcm900 mkIII

Who uses a quot;compound radiusquot; Warmoth neck?
Eventually I'll order a neck from Warmoth. But I don't know about the compound radius... something just doesn't seem right about it. Is it comfortable? I understand most Ibanez necks use a 12quot; radius and I like it. I'd like a quot;total vintagequot; neck, but you can't get a custom radius. (7 1/2 only) I'd like a neck with 21 frets and a 12quot; radius. Can you do that? I may have to settle for a quot;vintage modernquot; with 22 frets

Vintage tele style bridge set up? help?
Ok you guys know i brought home a used MIM Tele the other day... It has an aftermarket Gotoh Vintage tele bridge on it with the 3 bar saddles on it... I figured great intonation on such a bridge would be impossible as it has 2 strings per saddle. I figure that this must be apart of the vintage tele sound. But when setting up a bridge like this what is the best intonation you can shoot for? Which strings do i try to get closest to intonate?

ibanez or fender
Hi, i'm definitely shopping for a new guitar in the 400-500 dollar range. Right now my two prospects are an Ibanez SZ320, or a standard Mexican Tele. If i got the tele i would switch the bridge pickup to either a little 59 or hot rails. Can someone give me some input on the ibanez SZ320? (how versatile is it, etc.) I play a pretty broad range of music, anywhere from john mayer to tool. thanks
